If you are stuck for a gift and want to give something a little bit different - what about this.... A photo shoot voucher (valid for 6 months)There are so many reasons to do this......... here's just a few of them ....Your Dad already has far too many jumpers and socks!Your Gran has everything she needs - what she really wants is to have new portraits of her lovely familyYour mum lives down South and would love new family portraits of you allYou know somebody who loves a selfie - how could they resist a one hour photoshoot of themselves!

or maybe .... You just want portraits of your family, beautiful relaxed moments you can remember forever

All you need to do send me an email and we can take it from there - info@alisonspedding.co.uk

£40 gets you a one hour photo shoot of up to 3 people including a complimentary 10"x8" photo from the session.

If it's a voucher you want I can organise that! There's then 6 months to sort it out.

[I can photograph more people but there is an extra charge for that].

The photo shoot's are at beautiful spots such as Leazes Park, Jesmond Dene, Saltwell Park, Newcastle City Centre, Tynemouth Longsands and Northumberland Park.

If you have somewhere special in mind yourself - so long as it's within those kind of boundaries and easy for me to get to I will come and photograph you there.

Just check with me first - if it's somewhere a little bit further afield there might be a little extra charge for travel.

For the £40 you get a web gallery of about 30 images to select a complimentary 10"x8" print.

If you want to print more of the images yourself then a disc of the images is available to purchase or I can print more 10"x8" images.... entirely up to you - there is no pressure to buy anything else!

If you really want to push the boat out a framed 10"x8" image with mount costs £22.

I went to my first wedding fair today at North Tyneside Registry Office. There were about 30 suppliers there - so it was a fantastic opportunity to have a look at what's out there locally for North Tyneside Brides.

I'm photographing a wedding at this venue in August so it was also a great opportunity for me to have a look around!

I would love my own photo studio at home, but I live in a terraced house that just doesn’t have the space to allow that little luxury unfortunately. That’s why most of my portrait shoots tend to be ‘outdoor’ photo shoots. I like to connect my subjects to…

Before you get the wrong idea …. I mean using flash photography ! Until very recently I have avoided using a flash when taking photographs like the plague – I have dabbled with it, but generally the results haven’t been that pleasing to be honest. Rabbits…
